FAQs
Can I use the A58 set on sheep?
The A58 is specifically optimized for alpaca fiber, which differs in texture and density from sheep wool. For optimal results, use equipment designed for the specific animal species.
How often should I oil the blades?
You should apply oil every 15 to 20 minutes during continuous use to keep the blades cool and moving smoothly.
Is this set compatible with all Liscop shearing machines?
It is compatible with most Liscop professional handpieces, but you should verify your specific model's manual for confirmation of A58 compatibility.
How do I know when the blades need professional sharpening?
When you notice that you have to apply extra pressure to get the shears through the fiber, or if the coat looks ragged after cutting, it is time to have the blades professionally sharpened.
What is the best way to store the set when not in use?
Store them in a cool, dry place, ideally coated in a thin layer of oil to prevent oxidation, and inside a protective case to keep the cutting edges safe from nicks.
Troubleshooting
The shears are pulling the hair instead of cutting it.
The blades are likely dull or the tension is too loose. Sharpen the blades or adjust the tension screw on your handpiece.
The blades are becoming excessively hot.
This is often caused by a lack of lubrication or improper tension. Apply more clipper oil and verify that the tension is not set too tightly.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install the A58 set, ensure the handpiece is powered off. Place the comb on the bottom of the shearing head and secure the cutter on top, aligning the teeth according to the manufacturer's instructions for your specific handpiece. Always apply a thin layer of clipper oil across the teeth before beginning. After each use, remove the blades to clear away any trapped dander or fiber. Clean them with a soft brush and a specialized clipper cleaner, then store them in a dry, rust-preventative environment. Regularly sharpening these blades is essential to maintain their professional performance.
